@james.crennan been kind of following these threads lately and I have a curious question…I’m not published natively and only using PWA. Does app size affect that as well? And how can I find out the size of my app?

Hi James
Thank you for your much valued input. Your hands-on approach is truly appreciated by me & probably the entire Adalo Community. I have some concerns & I will list these here:
-
I am currently also building a coded app through a development team. It is almost completed and the APK is about 80MB. I therefore don’t understand the 10MB app functioning limit.
-
I am quite sure there are many Adalo apps in the 40-50MB range. This number is gathered from my routine reading of posts in the Forum. Once again the 10MB limit comes as a surprise to me.

I have been getting successful builds in iOS and Android over the last 5 to 6 months. This spate of constantly failing builds was only occurring in the recent week since there was a series of Adalo failures (I am sure there have been posts describing the ill-effects on makers in the past 7 days). The consecutive successful builds were done with the app in the 50MB to 80MB range. The build records will show that. I never had time-out then, why am I having it now?
I do understand that a “light” app would function better in all environments & devices and I will takes Support’s guidance on how to make it lighter. I am sure I could get it down to about 40MB but the 10MB limit is a hard target to reach unless I rip out many features that make this app unique. Please note that I am building a production app that would have discerning users with expectations. I always thought that Adalo can be used to build an app that can be marketable because it is unique. If I had known the 10MB limit, I might have been more careful on my choice of design & flow right from the start. Maybe a useful tool would be to display the app size so that makers will be constantly aware of the app size & not be in a fix after a year or more of development.
